Our Recipe for Sun-Free Sun Tea
If you’re an iced tea fan, you might have heard of the sun tea craze. The idea behind sun tea is fairly straightforward: add tea to room temperature water and leave it out in the sun to steep.
We can see where the idea came from—after all, using room temperature water and letting the tea bring forth its natural flavor over hours is a great way to produce non-bitter, flavor-filled iced tea!
But traditional “sun tea” comes with a major cost. Because the tea sits out in the sun (but never reaches hot enough temperatures to kill potential bacteria) it can be dangerous to drink.
Fortunately, there’s an alternate way to enjoy the pros of sun tea without the bacteria—cold brew! That’s why we created our own “sun tea” recipe. It’s the ideal blend of our best teas that you can enjoy in the sun without steeping it in the sun!

Cold Brew 101
If you want a great glass of iced tea, you can prepare your tea the traditional way and then ice it. But if you’ve tried that, you’ve likely noticed it’s a bit more bitter than you’re used to!
The cold brew method is the way to avoid that bitterness. It releases the tea’s natural flavors over a longer period of time. Even though it takes some forethought, it’s super easy and well worth it!
